Cloud could switch to XFS along with server. The main problem is that it'd
make us revisit booting -- either 1) some work into lightening up grub2, 2)
testing and possibly enhancing syslinux's xfs support, or 3) a separate
/boot with a different filesystem. I don't really love any of those options.
